Wechsler adult intelligence scale

From Psy3241

David Weschler created intelligence tests available to assess a wide range of ages. The first test, called the 'Weschler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale, was developed in 1939. It was replaced in 1955 and renamed the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale. Again, another revision occurred in 1981, which is now currently the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) is the most standard assessment for measuring intellectual functioning (IQ). Its subtests include: Information, Picture completion, Digit Span, Picture arrangement, Vocabulary, Block design, Arithmetic, Object assembly, Comprehension, Digit symbol, and Similarities.
